Summary: tempfile.mktemp() for directories

Initial Comment:
Hi!

It would help newbies if you write in
the documentation of tempfile.mktemp()

That this function can be used to
create unique filenames 
*or directories*.

Something like this: mktemp() can be used
to create filenames which can
me used to create temporary files
or directories.

I know this, you know it, but newbies don't.

Thank you for python and it's documentation!
